    3. Option: Please select 3 options from the itinerary, and we’ll decide the order on the day based on the weather. Osanbashi Pier is one of the historic ports where Japan first opened to the world, and it has played an important role in Yokohama’s development as an international harbor. The rooftop features a wide wooden deck that creates an open space, giving visitors the feeling of standing on a ship floating on the sea. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of Minato Mirai’s skyline, the Red Brick Warehouse, and the Yokohama Bay Bridge, making it a popular viewing spot both during the day and at night. The pier is designed with gentle slopes and ramps, making it easily accessible for wheelchair users and strollers. Its flowing architecture blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, and it is highly regarded both in Japan and internationally as a building that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. On clear days, visitors can even see Tokyo Skytree!

      20 minutes here

    4. Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

      Option: The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is a lively cultural landmark where history and modern life come together. Built in the early 20th century, the warehouses supported port logistics and international trade, and survived both the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II. Their strong red-brick structures remain as symbols of Yokohama’s resilience and modernization. Today, the restored buildings house stylish cafés, restaurants, and shops. The open waterfront plaza hosts seasonal events and markets, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the year. With views of the sea and the Minato Mirai skyline, it is also one of Yokohama’s most popular photo spots, loved by visitors day and night.

      20 minutes here

    5. Yamashita Park

      Option: Yamashita Park is a beautiful waterfront park that represents Yokohama’s history and seaside charm. Opened in 1930 after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was built on reclaimed land as a symbol of recovery. Visitors can relax on harbor-facing benches, enjoy views of the sea, and see the historic Hikawa Maru, a ship once used on the Seattle route. The Rose Garden, filled with roses linked to Yokohama’s sister cities, blooms in spring and autumn, making the park a popular and photogenic spot. On a nice day, we can go on a picnic and enjoy local foods such as bread and bento.

      20 minutes here

    6. Yokohama Chinatown

      Option: Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan and one of the biggest in the world. It was established in the 19th century, when Yokohama Port opened and many Chinese merchants settled in the area. Today, it is a vibrant district filled with hundreds of restaurants, food stalls, and shops. You can enjoy a wide variety of authentic Chinese cuisine, such as dim sum, ramen, and steamed buns, as well as colorful traditional gates and temples. It is a popular sightseeing spot where visitors can experience lively streets, delicious food, and a unique mix of Chinese and Japanese culture.

      30 minutes here · Admission not included

    7. Iseyama Kotai Shrine

      Option: Iseyama Kotaijingu Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess, who is regarded as the most revered deity in Japan and is the same deity worshipped at Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto shrine in the country. Because of this, the shrine is often referred to as “the Ise Shrine of the Kanto region,” and many people visit it to receive the same spiritual blessings without traveling all the way to Ise. The shrine is located on a hilltop, offering a pleasant open atmosphere and panoramic views of Yokohama, which adds to its calm and refreshing ambiance. Unlike many major tourist sites, the shrine is usually quiet and uncrowded, making it an ideal place for visitors to experience traditional Japanese culture, enjoy a peaceful moment, and feel a strong sense of harmony between history, nature, and the modern city.

      15 minutes here

    8. Yokohama Motomachi Shopping Street

      Option: Motomachi is one of Yokohama's most charming and historic shopping streets. It developed after Yokohama Port opened in 1859, when many foreign residents settled in the nearby Yamate district. Today, the street is lined with stylish boutiques, cafés, bakeries, and long-established local shops. It is a great place to enjoy shopping, sample local sweets, and experience a relaxed atmosphere away from the crowds.

      30 minutes here · Admission not included

    9. Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama

      Option: Advance reservations are required for entry. Therefore, this option is only available if reservation slots are open. The museum is closed every Tuesday. You can design your own cup and choose your favorite soup base and toppings to create a unique, personalized ramen.

      40 minutes here · Admission not included

    10. Sankeien Gardens

      Sankeien Garden is one of Yokohama’s hidden gems. It’s a beautiful traditional Japanese garden, but it’s much more than just a garden. The vast grounds are home to historic Japanese buildings that were relocated from places such as Kyoto and Kamakura, including an impressive three-story pagoda. Some of these buildings are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. From central Yokohama, it can take around 50 minutes by bus, plus a short walk. By car, we can get there in about 20 minutes, so we can spend less time on transportation and more time actually enjoying the garden. If you choose the Garden, you can choose one or two other locations from the itinerary because of the time constraints. The admission fee(900yen)is not included in the tour price.

      20 minutes here · Admission not included

    11. Shinyokohama Ramen Museum

      If you choose the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, you can choose one or two other locations from the itinerary because of the time constraints. I would not recommend combining it with Sankeien Garden, as they are quite far from each other. Traveling between the two would take about two hours round trip. The admission fee and the cost of the ramen are not included in the tour price.

      40 minutes here · Admission not included

    12. Yokohama Minato Mirai 21

      Option: Shopping assistance From 100-yen shops to Denim jeans stores and cosmetic shops I can take you on a fun and flexible shopping tour in Yokohama. If you already have places you would like to visit or specific brands you are interested in, I will guide you there and assist you with shopping, including explanations of products and help with communication in English. This is a fully customizable experience, so we can enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable shopping journey together based on your interests.

    A Wonderful Private Tour of Yokohama with an Excellent Guide!

    I had a wonderful experience on this private tour of Yokohama! Maria was an excellent guide who made the entire trip comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. We visited Osanbashi Pier, Yamashita Park, and Iseyama Kotai Shrine, and I learned so many interesting things about Yokohama that I had never known before, even though I live in Japan. Maria was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to our interests. I especially appreciated how she customized the tour to our preferences and explained the history and culture of each place in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. Traveling by car was also very convenient and allowed us to enjoy the sights at a relaxed pace. What made this tour particularly special was Maria’s warm hospitality and personal touch. She made us feel welcome throughout the day, and it was clear that she genuinely wanted us to have a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yokohama, especially those who want to explore the city beyond the typical tourist attractions and discover its hidden charms with a knowledgeable local guide. Thank you, Maria, for such a fantastic day! I would love to join another tour with you in the future!

    Great Tour and Guide with Driver

    Maria is an amazing tour guide! She greeted us at the cruise terminal with a warm hug and a smile. Her husband H was the driver and he was very kind. The vehicle is clean and comfortable and the two of them work seamlessly together. We went to the Sankeien Garden, Motomochi Shopping, and China town. The garden is spectacular and well worth a visit. Maria was knowledgeable of the history and took time to take group pictures for us so that we could remember our time. I had surgery a few months prior to this trip, so all the stairs and climbing was still a bit much. She helped me up and down stairs when needed and kept a relaxed pace. Shopping was fun and China town had the Yokohama souvenirs my sister wanted. Maria was kind enough to translate at the pharmacy for me as I needed some items. She was even kind enough to track down a skincare item I was searching for and took me to pick it up. It was such a wonderful time! Her warmth and kindness really made us feel welcomed.

    Special needs/great service

    Marie took the time to plan out our trip, she asked questions as to what we wanted to see, things we wanted to do. She was very informative and knowledgeable in her native country. Marie isn’t just a great tour guide, she is a very nice, sweet human being. Her husband is a nice, safe driver as well. I promise you, you cannot go wrong with this tour and Maria. She went out of her way to find me a safe place to eat being I have food allergies and ensured me it was safe and it was. I cannot emphasize enough how much my husband and I enjoyed this night trip. It was our biggest memory. We met a family member meeting Maria and her husband. Please take this trip, you will not be sorry.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! You and your husband were also such warm, kind, and knowledgeable people. You were interested in so many things, especially history, and we had wonderful conversations over dinner. Even though I was your tour guide, I learned so much from both of you, and I’m truly grateful for that. The night views during our evening tour were beautiful, too, weren’t they? I hope you’ll visit Japan again someday! Next time, let’s cook together at my home using fresh Japanese ingredients. I think you’ll feel even more comfortable eating at my home than at any restaurant! And of course, I’ll invite you as friends, so it will be absolutely free! I hope we’ll have another chance to spend some wonderful time together in Japan!

    Very valid tour to get to know Yokohama!

    I booked the tour to Yokohama for a friend's parents. Maria is a very good guide and organized everything in the best way! Even the car trips were perfect!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing my tour! I had such a wonderful time with you. I always love the energy and excitement of guests visiting Japan for the first time. It was also so much fun looking for the souvenirs you wanted, such as face masks and folding fans, in between sightseeing. I think adding some shopping time between the sightseeing stops was a great idea!

    The perfect day in Yokohama

    This was a wonderful way to experience all that Yokohama has to offer because it is customized to what you would like to see. Our tour guide Maria took the time to find out exactly what we wanted to do and went above and beyond to make sure that we had an incredible experience. I highly recommend this tour for those who want an informative , well planned and special day in Yokohama . Maria is excellent at her job because she guides from her heart. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about this multifaceted city.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing and booking my tour among so many options in Yokohama. I was truly happy to have the opportunity to support you and help make your day special. Thanks to our plenty of time to communicate before the tour, we were able to discuss the places and experiences you were interested in and plan a day that suited you. We finally chose the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, a shopping tour, and a hidden Japanese beef BBQ restaurant loved by locals. I think these were great choices! We went a little outside the busy tourist areas and enjoyed less crowded, spacious shops where locals actually go. It was a great way to experience a more relaxed and local side of Yokohama. Thank you both again! I hope we’ll stay in touch

    Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.

    How much does Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.

    Is Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Yokohama?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Yokohama?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Yokohama?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car?

    +

    Included: Please select 3 options from the itinerary; Car TOYOYA XL or Mercedes-Benz Service Available Every Day, Including Piping Hot and Rainy; Private tour, exclusively for your party: A personalized experience at your pace; A local Japanese guide who has lived in Yokohama for over 30 years; and If you need a wheelchair - up to 100kg, please let us know at least three days in advance. Not included: Lunch; Dinner; Gratuities; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Accessible & Customizable Yokohama Shore Excursion by Car wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
